Romeo & Juliet

Now we get a traditional take on the story. It was pretty good too. Stand outs were Damian Lewis as Lord Capulet and Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence. I also liked that Lesley Manville wasn't a complete over the top maniac playing the Nurse. The young cast equip themselves alright, although I don't really see Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet. And if you're doing a film adaptation you should really attempt to make the sword fights a little more enthralling and cinematic. But the adaptation made the scenes really flow well. Changed up the ending a little... heh.  Anyway, wasn't bad.
